What to do when your child is stuttering (with Lauren Haines)

from De Facto Leaders · host Dr. Karen Dudek-Brannan

In this episode, I talk with Lauren Haines from Busy Bee Speech about childhood stuttering.Many people don’t realize this, but there are a TON of misconceptions in the general public about stuttering. It’s also a highly specialized area of speech-language pathology, so many clinicians are left feeling unprepared to support stutterers who come to therapy. That’s why I wanted to dispel some myths about stuttering and offer some practical tips for therapists, educators, and parents of school-age kids. In this conversation, we discuss: ✅What are the signs that stuttering will persist past childhood, and is it possible for kids to “outgrow” speech disfluencies?✅What does stuttering look like in kids? How do we know when a child needs to go to therapy?✅What are the key pieces of intervention for stuttering, and what can therapists, educators, and parents do to help?✅Why “stuttering” should not be an off-limits word when talking to kids about their speech.✅What’s the cause of stuttering and how can we have realistic therapy goals for kids?

Capsules d'analyse financière de Dominique Jacquet Capsules d'analyse financière de Dominique Jacquet Solving for Change MOBIA Technology Innovations Solving for Change welcomes business and technology leaders to share stories of bold business transformation within complex organizations. In an era when technology and markets are changing around businesses, the key to staying competitive is to evolve in response to those changes. MOBIA’s Mike Reeves and Marc LeBlanc investigate business transformation, deconstructing the challenges, ambitions, and market disruptions that drive companies to embark on transformation journeys, and exploring their unique approaches to achieving meaningful outcomes. What sparks leaders to pursue business transformation? How do they overcome the challenges along the way? What are the keys to creating enduring change? Through in-depth conversations with business and technology leaders, Mike and Marc answer these questions and explore how businesses evolve by pulling four key transformation levers: people, process, technology, and culture. La Corrobra Canal Extremadura El espacio de la radio pública que pone en valor las lenguas autóctonas de Extremadura: el estremeñu, la fala y el portugués rayano.Con Juan Pedro Sánchez. NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in
